Scientists are made of flesh and blood and make errors? NOOOOO!
Transposed digits errors happen. A math error just as bad crashed a Mars probe. Generally, scientists check each other's work, though, and a scientist found the error and reported it.
What scientists did not do was urinate away trillions of dollars claiming house prices would never ever ever drop That's what the bankers managed to do. Marched in lockstep over a cliff together never ever questioning whether it was a sound idea to bet the entire economic system on the idea that housing prices went up 100% of the time.
Better go look up the World Trade Organization. Half the stuff that organization does is by means of processes that aren't transparent at all. There's not been even a hint that anyone in the legal community might suggest the WTO has done anything improper.
If you wish to fight ACTA, you better get off your butt and do it now. The lawyers aren't going to fight it afterward.
Seems like Apple hardware owners would be making the same unauthorized copies when they boot their computers.
If I'm I'm Psystar's legal team, I'd argue they make the same unauthorized copies that Apple's hardware owners make. If the Psystar process makes unauthorized copies, then Apple's does too.
"...the Orion design would have worked by dropping small shaped charge fission or thermonuclear explosives out the rear of a vehicle, detonating them 200 feet (60 m) out, and catching the blast with a thick steel or aluminum pusher plate....The 'base design' consisted of a 4000 ton model planned for ground launch from Jackass Flats, Nevada. Each 0.15 KT (sea-level yield) blast would add 30 mph (50 km/h, 13.89m/s) to the craft's velocity. A graphite based oil would be sprayed on the pusher plate before each explosion to prevent ablation of the surface. To reach low Earth orbit (300mi), this sequence would have to be repeated about 800 times, like an atomic pogo stick.
Jerry Pournelle, who is acquainted with the project and its ex-team leader Freeman Dyson, has been quoted as saying that a single mission could have provided us with a large permanent moon base. Alternatively, an Orion could reach Pluto and return to Earth inside of a year..."
It just makes the jock-dominant culture more courteous and community minded.
Perfect example of this right here in PDX... the Rasheed Wallace, Bonzi Wells old-style Jail-Blazers is gone The "new" Brandon Roy-led "make-it-better" Portland Trail Blazers 2.0 is now the standard.
Don't even try to pretend the Blazers won't own PDX for a long time into the future, but very public bad behavior isn't tolerated by the fans anymore. The fans have learned they can demand of their team players/staff a certain standard of behavior, and the team management made sure they brought in players who would positive community assets.
I sympathize, but the only thing that would make my boring life more grim is wasting the extra time one needs to spend to encrypt all the boring details of my boring life.
Thank the US right wingers who originally came up with the idea to lock up a person who is convicted of felony crimes three separate times for the rest of their lives as career criminals
The Soviets were a lot more willing to shove nuclear reactors in places we were politically unwilling/unable to. The Russians may even have some Soviet prototypes around. It would be the same barely-post-war era tech all their stuff was, and it would be really, really, REALLY dangerous to use, but the very well might have gotten beyond blueprints.
"Hitchens: Christianity is a fraud if it’s not literally true
If the story of Jesus Christ isn't literally true, then Christianity is a fraud that promotes "a positively wicked doctrine," conservative writer Christopher Hitchens told Fox & Friends Monday morning.
Hitchens, an avowed atheist whose 2007 book God is Not Great attempts to divorce conservatism from religious teachings, discussed the role of religion in American society in the wake of a recent study (PDF) that shows the number of Americans who claim no religious affiliation has roughly doubled in the past two decades, from 8.2 percent in 1990 to 15 percent in 2008.
Our Russian friends had lots of freedom returned for a few years, then started giving some of those freedoms back to Putin. Freedom to criticize the state in the press is mostly gone once again. The elections process had been corrupted now.
The Russian people did little to fight to keep Putin from taking those new freedoms away.
A flat plane of glass sitting on a desk has all the same ergonomics issues a flat keyboard has. The 10GUI concept uses 5th fingers way too much too, just like a standard key board uses 5th fingers too much.
There need to be an input device with both hands resting on the desk with thumbs up and palms facing each. Until they figure out a way for hands to rest in a natural position while inputting, there's going to be big problems with repet. motion injuries. You have to spend too much time in whatever positions manufacturers put you in.
The only one that gonna work without injuries is the natural position hands return to at rest.
Anyone who would put Doctors without Borders on a list of those undeserving of a Peace Price has been brainwashed into such right wing extremist freak they are incapable of speaking on any subject as without spewing right wing talking points over and over
Kramer: Aaaah! Enough lying! The lying is through. C'mon, Jerry, the masquerade is over. You're thin, late thirties, single... Jerry: So are you. Kramer: Yeah... (jumps back in fear) Jerry/George/Kramer/Jerry's mother/George's mother: Not that there's anything wrong with that.
"...And the hundreds of Nobel Prize scientists who got involved with trying to communicate the dangers of global warming to the world long, long before Al Gore got involved in anything... Ignore them! Al Gore's special lethal uber-cooties makes what all those Nobel Prize winning scientists say irrelevant.
Translation: Ignore the powers-that-be paid right wing propaganda campaign you see being waged against science your eyes see. Your eyes lie. Stop paying paying attention to what your lying eyes see. Listen to our right wing bullshit instead.

I wondered what was up with all the damn yodeling on the House Floor lately.

It's created in the US what become now known as the prison-industrial complex.

Seen the Soviet space shuttle prototype? Scary.

This Perceptive Pixel product doesn't solve repetitive motion injury issues.
Different parts of the body will get injured, but there will still be injuries.
For your input device, think hands at rest. Thumbs up. Palms together. Finger curved.
Anything else will still be causing rep. motion injuries.
What can be done to create an input device with natural rest position of hands. Thumbs up. Palms facing together. Fingers curved. ??
With all the new materials, doesn't seem that tough to make.

Maybe they shouldn't have used human cops as their behavior model after all.

Running some water through reflected sunlight before said water is heated by burning coal isn't solar energy, either.
Yep. Lotsa places. Isn't it amazing just how many places you find out there are?
